Default A Long Time Coming...

Quite literally! i ordered these LT knock-offs from ap1ap2 off ebay. After reading up on THIS thread i decided that they would be a worth while investment. I ordered them on March 29th and because of a slight error through UPS they never got shipped. So after afew calls and good feedback from ap1ap2 i got another set shipped out. And now i can share them with you guys! Pictures and first impressions always help and my first impressions are so far so very good.



my cats couldnt help themselves either lol










For $310 shipped i dont see how these can be beat.. the Y pipe is very well constructed and the slip joints are just the right size. I dont have my micrometer on me but im sure that the secondaries are as advertised. I believe 1 3/4" to 1 7/8". The headers themselves are very well built. fit and finish are incredible for the price. Cheap chinese knock-offs or not... someone knows what there doing with a TIG welder.

Im hoping to get these up and in this weekend. If things go smoothly expect an update shortly. I hope you guys enjoyed story time lol i cant wait to install these suckers!

You say good fit and finish and they haven't even been put in yet. Update us on that once they are installed cause a buddy of mine is thinking about getting some!

you should have waited to make this thread until after you had them installed, i have been told there is two different sets going around on ebay, one fits and one does not fit so well

Those are the same headers i got from ebay by a seller speedaddy or something. They are nice looking, but a few things came up during my install. The gaskets were ok but kinda cheap so i ordered some nice expensive copper ones and they didnt seal worth a damn, went with felpro 1406 and they are great. had to bfh the driver side to be able to even attempt to install the steering linkage. A few of the bolt holes had to be bored, and the primaries dented a bit to allow a nut to thread on. But they look and sound damn nice and I'm happy with them.
